Chapter 223

lso five and ten dollar bills in the box...There are 27,650 pieces.I remembered Dòuzhā's goodness and vowed to repay him tenfold when I have money in the future.Today you lend me 20,000, later I will...We made a decision, to go down to the bottom of the well and have a look.

I found a rope, and I said I'd go down. Douzi said no, he wanted to contribute to the team, so he was going down the well.

I thought this well wasn't deep and there was no water inside, so I figured there wouldn't be any danger. Then I agreed to let Douzi go down the well.

Tying the rope around his waist, he checked carefully to make sure it was secure. Douzi put on his headlamp and began sliding down the well mouth.

The rope on the ground was tied to a large rock, and even though the little bean sprout wasn't fat, this stone was enough to support his weight.

This place hasn't seen anyone for who knows how long, it's desolate everywhere.

The bean sprout boy quickly slid to the bottom of the well, clutching the rope.

He bent down and rummaged on the ground, shouting: "Damn it, it's really a piece of iron!"

Throw the head into a sack and tell Germaine to come and have a look.

When the little sprouts brought over the things, we took a look. The iron sheets were badly rusted, and the corners had warped severely. There was a small hole above the rusted sheet, I don't know what it was for.

At first, we were baffled. All the iron plates had little holes in them.

Unexpectedly, Aji spoke a sentence that woke us all up.

"Aji said, 'Could these iron pieces have been strung together before'"

"That's right! It was that thing all along! How could I not have thought of it!"

This is armor!

I threw a shovel into the well and shouted loudly, "YaZi! Keep looking to see if there's anything else."

">

Over the next hour, in this deepest well in Alashan, we discovered more and more.

There were rusty iron scraps, broken swords in several pieces, rust-covered spearheads, arrowheads, and a large number of scattered human bones. Especially the human bones, Dou Zai used his shovel to dig deeper and deeper, until later he was so afraid that he didn't dare to dig anymore. There were too many human bones, one layer on top of another. Some bones were close to weathering away, and Dou Zai stepped on them with his foot and they turned into powder.

He was sweating profusely at the bottom of the well and shouted, "Hurry up and pull me up! There could be thousands or even millions of people here! This damn thing is a death trap!"

After pulling the bean sprout up, he was still visibly shaken.

It wasn't just him; everyone else had a similar expression on their faces.

Huo Lu Shu anxiously blurted out something.

Aji nervously translated, "Uncle said this is a soldier who died fighting for the Black General. We disturbed the Black General's soul, we will be cursed by Harlahot!"

"Don't panic."

"Keeping his head cool, he pondered for a moment before saying: "It's a bit of a stretch to say those skeletons are all soldiers from the Black Water City of Xi Xia. Even if some were, it wouldn't mean they were all."

Because the number of armor and weapons we found was far less than the number of skeletons.

In other words, the skeletons found underground were probably mostly those of commoners.

“

We analyzed the topic from a geographical perspective, and then we discussed it around this theme. Although we didn't reach any concrete conclusions in the end, I gained a general understanding of the brief history of Western Xia.

Looking back at ancient civilizations, Xi Xia is the only one not included in the Twenty-Four Histories because the later Yuan Dynasty deliberately did not allow a history to be written for Xi Xia.

And when people discuss Xixia, they always feel that this northwestern kingdom exudes an aura all over its body.

< mysterious. >

In the late Tang Dynasty, there was a Party-Xiang person named Tuobu Si Gong. This man helped the Tang Dynasty quell Huang Chao's rebellion. The Tang king rewarded him heavily with land and appointed him as a Jiedushi (military governor), and also bestowed upon him the surname Li. This person is considered the founder of the Western Xia Kingdom.

Subsequently, Li Deming and Li Jixian inherited the position of Northwest Circuit Inspector. These two individuals clung to power secretly for several decades. By the time of Li Yuanhao's generation, their fiefdom had become extremely powerful.

Yuanhao looked at his powerful army and decided not to be humble anymore. He said to Song Renzong, "Little Song, I am no longer the Wu Xia Amon. Let's sit as equals."
